I remember someone on another forum going to town with Wade Elliott’s fist game and he didn’t turn out to bad. Plus someone on this forum said they never want to see Matt Smith again. .....and the horrendous error Frankie made on his debut that led to a goal being conceded? He didn’t turn out too bad...

The Constant Rabbit Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Good hands Crap feet. So don't block the ball with your feet, just kick it immediately from a back pass. I don't think I have ever seen a keeper who can't stop the ball from a back pass with his feet without it bouncing at least 4ft forward - incredible. That really is very poor. Non-League poor.

Major Isewater Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Marinovic didn’t cover himself in glory and maybe isn’t very good but the treatment dished out to him by the Ashton Gate faithful was an embarrassment and hardly conducive to him settling in and giving his best performance.

Where was the support for the debutant ? To be fair major, it probably went on the second hesitated clearance, and/or how he didn't look overly convincing coming out for the ball. That being said, I think we're being a bit harsh on the guy. Couple of decent stops, few decent kicks upfield, but how much of a factor was the wind? Not being there I don't know how much (if at all) it was a factor, but up here in Essex the wind has been quite bad for a few days. All being said, unless Max had a knock, then he shouldn't have been playing that quickly after signing - especially if he hasn't played competitive football for a while. That would be a bad call by LJ. Marinovic can't be blamed for the performance of everybody else though, our goal should have kicked us on a bit. Instead, they just played as if they couldnt be bothered, and maybe their minds were on what they were going to be doing during this upcoming break....

This guy made mistakes with his feet but saved well and certainly wasnt at fault for a goal. Think the mistake was LJ telling both goalkeepers last week that he would play one in the Leeds game and the other in the Ipswich game. Should have kept with Max prior to the International break and given Marinovic the time to get used to the players in practise and possibly an U23 game if there is one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matches 35 and 36 in a 46 game match season are not the time to try out two keepers just to "see who is best". Surely this is what training, U23 games, and closed door friendlies are for? Johnson should know all about how Max plays - why does Max need a glorified trial? Then Marinovic has had a week of training to show what he can do. Crazy to then use these games as testers...and crazier still to admit it to a local journo. Just say Max tweaked a hamstring or something. Marinovic's error in the first minute was the death knell. Immediately puts himself into so much negative credit with the fans. He'd have had to play a worldie game to recover from that...but ended up spooning several kicks straight to Johnson in the technical area. As an aside, I presume we will see Max in goal for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Playing Marinovic after just 5 days with the club and such a long break from the game is absolutely pathetic from LJ. Feel embarrassed for Max to lose his place to someone so rusty. Lee is a decent coach, but as a manager some of his decisions are shocking. First Semenyo to start on the wing against Leeds, and now this, truly bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including the pathway there is supposed to be a big plan driving BCFC. Bristol City have brought in technical players like Webster. Yesterday at goal kicks players moved to the half way line to contest punts. Players stopped going short for the Keeper. Some advantages of having players like Webster are lost due to the inability of the Keeper. It may have been nerves … It may also be a serious lack of ability. And if it is technical deficiency. Why is this player here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From then on, you could see Kalas and Webster didnt feel comfortable passing back to him. That changes the dynamic of the whole game, and how we play. Keepers now (and to us) are so important to ball rotation it's the same as not being comfortable passing to a midfielder/defender. Johnson shrugged that off as 'welcome to the Championship'. If I was Max last night i'd have been absolutely furious & felt a bit saddened to see that LJ didnt have full confidence in him, seeing Marionvic nearly cost us the game on a few separate occasions.

Amazing wasn't it, every time Webster got the ball where he would usually play the simple ball back to Niki to keep possession going he would turn straight around with the ball to face forwards. It was like in the playground when you had that one kid who was shocking and it just made more sense to try and take it on yourself rather than pass to them. It also caused us to have to go long frequently, as the Ipswich attackers closed down the gap between Webby and Kalas forcing them to have no other option as they were petrified to pass back. You could tell they were thinking what in the world has happened for this guy to be in goal. Give it Max till the end of the season, although currently not as good or experienced as Niki and Frankie he has just as much or more talent, and is far more competent with the ball at his feet.

Numero Uno Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Accepting that we have two keepers for the rest of the season yet to find their feet at this level and accepting that mistakes may be made surely we go with the keeper who is more in tune with the teams style of play in terms of playing from the back. On last nights evidence it has to be O’Leary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what, I am actually angry about this decision. I don't get angry easily, but I just can't understand the logic. I want LJ to succeed. He's a young English manager who's built his career the hard way and I want this club to be somewhere that someone like that can succeed. It's ******* hard to keep thinking like that, and to keep defending him, when he makes mad decisions like this and then admits it to a journalist.
